Is there a performance cost for having many search paths for objects in PD? For example, if I were to add 20 more search paths to those already in the File -> Paths... listing would there be a slow down with regard to performance?
Thank you for any information.

Having many paths slows down the creation of objects a bit because each path is searched for a possible abstraction or external, and the same applies to loading of soundfiles with soundfiler. But once everything is loaded, it shouldn't matter how many paths you've set.
